Walking Holidays in the UK

We've recently had an email from the excellent West Winds teahouse and B&B in Buckden. As part of the Dales Way 40th anniversary celebrations, Look North featured the B&B on 20 April.

To quote West Winds: "Earlier this month, Harry Gration, long-serving presenter of Look North, came to West Winds Yorkshire Tearooms to try our curd tart. The feature, which was broadcast on Monday 20 April, marked the 40th anniversary of the Dales Way long distance path and showed Harry tucking into a loaded cake stand with obvious enthusiasm. He said on the programme: “If you want a lovely overnight and a bit of a feast as well, this is the place for you.” "

There's also a U tube clip at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr3Uf2t-dPQ which is worth a look. During the interview they talk about the popularity of the Walking Holidays on the Dales Way, and the fact that companies such as Mickledore , who arrange baggage transport, have open the route up to many more hikers. I would add that friendly, cosy B&Bs such as West Winds have also played there part!
